6 minutes plz…

I have to refresh my OS periodically usually each month or two. It took much bothering. OS installation would take about 30 minutes. Then I have to install other softwares which took at least 2 hours and many restarts.

I have to refresh my OS periodically usually each month or two. It took much bothering. OS installation would take about 30 minutes. Then I have to install other softwares which took at least 2 hours and many restarts.

The software I have to install usually:

OS Itself

Motherboard & other device driver

Office

Photoshop

Illustrator

Dreamweaver

Zend Studios

FrontPage 2003

Acrobat Reader

Configuring EasyPHP (mysql data directory is not in OS partition. so no loss if i format partition)

Configuring all virtual hosts and aliases

Bangla softwares & fonts installation

Complex Languages support

User Configurations

Antivirus softwares

Download accelerator

Mozilla, IE7, Opera etc. and their plugins

Messengers

Multimedia Players like Herosoft, Winamp

FTP softwares and others

So i had to give much time to install & configure these soft. Last week, Sumon, a contributing member of Projanmo Forum, send a gift cd with Acronis True Image Server for me. After installing and configuring my OS fully, using this software i took a image of my C: drive.

Yesterday, I had to refresh the OS again (as affected by virus). I formatted the C: partition and using the boot CD of Acronis, I restored the whole system in less than 6 minutes. 😎

Its really amazing. In five minutes, the whole system is ready for use.
